This small, picturesque coastal village boasts the longest white coastline in the Southern Hemisphere, ideal for safe bathing, boating and watersports. The migrating southern right whale herds pass this hospitable coast to mate and calve in the secluded enclaves along the shoreline, making Struisbaai an imperative destination forthe nature lover. Struisbaai is particularly well known for its excellent fishing There is some debate as to the origin of the name Struisbaai. Some authorities believe that it means 'strawbay' and it earned this name by the fishermen's cottages that were originally built of straw. Others claim the name Struisbaai is derived from the Dutch vogelstruijs or 'ostrich'. The low shrub-covered terrain bordering the sandy coast is certainly ostrich country and you will still see a good number of these giant birds sharing the land with dairy cattle and merino sheep. According to legend, Struisbaai is named for the size of its beach - an old Nederland word for "huge".

Some of the cottages are now used as holiday homes and have all been declared as national monuments. They are oftenfeatured in the paintings of many South African artists. The unusual name of this little place comes from the days of the first wagon track, when a stone outcrop imposed a sharp detour on all travelers. Most of the old cottages were allowed to fall into ruin, until recently when the original cottages have been expertly restored. - The famous Aghulhas lighthouse, a very popular attraction, was built to aid the early explorers on their passage of the rough seas off Cape Aghulhas. It is the second oldest working lighthouse in Southern Africa. Stone mined from the adjacent limestone quarry provided the raw materials for its construction. The building also houses a unique lighthouse museum and restaurant. Remains of ancient stone fish traps used by the Khoe Khoe people can be seen to the east of the lighthouse. - Shell shops are a must visit for the shell collector and browser. Collectors and casual beachcombers prize the delicate shell of the Argonaut alike. Their occurrence on South African beaches is somewhat seasonal and stranding is most frequent between April and August at the end of the spawning season - Graveyard of ships, the Zoetendal, Birkenhead and Arniston are some of the many shipwrecks found along the Aghulhas coastline. Showpieces from these shipwrecks are on display at the Bredasdorp Shipwreck Museum. - Anglican Church is a small restored thatch-roof church, which is a national monument.

flat Bargain in this popular University town of Stellenbosch. You have to see this one! Stellenbosch Background Information: Property Market : An unsurpassed quality of life, a strong demand in student housing, a growing corporate presence in the town and a lack of residential land due to the encircling vineyards of the historically “dominating” wine industry, has made this one of the most expensive countryside property markets in the country. Rezoning of Stellenbosch agricultural land is due to the local city council’s city planning policy, virtually impossible. The student property market dynamics has since 1994 seen dramatic changes – with a very strong demand being created in the sectional market by the national policy of affirmative action and the role it is playing in the university’s residences. The number of apartment blocks in Stellenbosch is at present about +- 160 – ranging from 100 m to 3,5 km. from the campus. Prices of flats ranges from about R470 000 (1-bedroom on the outskirts) to R 2,4 mil (2 bedroom / 108 sq.m units in Central Stellenbosch in the “golden triangle”).

It is an academic and farming community and one of the best preserved towns in South Africa. Stellenbosch is affectionately known as "Eikestad" - town of oaks. Stellenbosch is situated in the fertile Jonkershoek river valley and boasts a mild Mediterranean climate with rainy winters and hot summers. The Eerste River that flows through the town, has it origin in the nearby Jonkershoek mountains and flows into the False Bay, 20 kilometers away. The Stellenbosch mountains form a link in the chain of mountains along the south coast of the Western Cape, to the southern tip of Africa (Agulhas). The Stellenbosch valley was the first to be settled and cultivated by the Dutch as they moved from Cape Town towards the interior. The areas offers superb scenic views over mountains, vineyards and orchards covered with wild flowers in spring. The magnificent mountains ranges reach heights of 1600 metres, forming a spectacular backdrop to the town.

Rezoning of Stellenbosch agricultural land is due to the local city council’s city planning policy, virtually impossible. The student property market dynamics has since 1994 seen dramatic changes – with a very strong demand being created in the sectional title market by the national policy of affirmative action and the role it is playing in the university’s residences. The number of apartment blocks in Stellenbosch is at present about +- 160 – ranging from 100 m to 3,5 km. from the campus. Prices of flats ranges from about R470 000 (1-bedroom on the outskirts) to R 2,4 mil (2 bedroom / 108 sq.m units in Central Stellenbosch in the “golden triangle”).

house Stylish grandeur from the past This neat and modernized home with oregon floors have 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, formal sitting- diningroom, openplan kitchen and family room, spacious flatlet with utility room or offices for a business from home. Price: R1 270 000.00 Background Information Oudtshoorn: Property Market: Most of the property enquiries come from people who are established professionally in George but who are selling up there with a view to commuting. Most still commute. But the commercial sector is picking up as the town is growing rapidly. There’s definitely scope in Oudtshoorn for young people and families looking to relocate – and there are no burglar bars on the houses. Even though salaries might on average be lower than elsewhere because it’s a small town, the cost of living is not high. The general profile of property buyers is that of people opting for a lifestyle change and financial scaling down, rather than capital gain. Some properties in the sought-after Wesbank area are still zoned as agricultural. Riverside properties here front municipal land, which property owners often rent cheaply for extra space to raise ostriches, horses, chickens... or goats. Oudtshoorn is unique in that you can have a farm in town - but they are not “plots.” They are more like “Gentleman’s Estates.” In the older part of town the stands are a little smaller but the houses are Karoo-style sandstone homes with yellowwood floors. The historical integrity of the town has been maintained with buyers of the sandstone homes always restoring them. They are very sought after, so they are very scarce. The town boasts several good schools – some Afrikaans only and some bilingual. Most local publications feature bilingual editorial. There’s also a private hospital – the Klein Karoo Medi-Clinic – as well as a provincial hospital. Oudtshoorn is a short 45 minutes’ drive from George and Wilderness. And although George airport is close by, you could always park your bird at an airstrip in Oudtshoorn itself. History: The town built its fortune on the European fashion industry’s delight in the feathers of a huge, flightless bird found roaming wild in the area. After the collapse of the feather market during World War One, the town eventually became what it is today: the world’s foremost producer ostrich meat - ‘the healthy alternative to beef’ and ‘the Rolls-Royce of leather.’ Oudtshoorn is steeped in colonial history and one of the most notable features of the town is its architecture. Beautiful gothic-style churches were built from the abundant local sandstone, and delicate ‘broekie lace’ adorns the so-called Ostrich Palaces that were the homes of the ostrich barons of the 1900s. General: Situated along the banks of the Grobbelaars River at the foot of the Swartberg Mountains, Oudtshoorn – the ‘ostrich capital of the world’ – sprang up from the midst of a tiny farming community in the late 1800s. Many of the architectural styles in Oudtshoorn are found nowhere else. The sandstone homes have been preserved and restored, imparting a sense of gentility to the town despite the advent of modern shops. Oudtshoorn is deservedly famous for its hospitality. Small-town grace coupled with an unexpected cosmopolitan style make for both warm and interesting locals. The town’s most famous historical resident, CJ Langenhoven (1873?), is often called the Shakespeare of Afrikaans literature. He was a vociferous proponent of Afrikaans culture (he translated Omar Khayyam’s The Rubaiyat into Afrikaans), and today many things in Oudtshoorn are named after him. These days the Karoo dorpie is the venue for the biggest – and arguably the best – arts festival on the South African calendar. The KKNK (Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees, or Little Karoo National Arts Festival) has benefited the town in several ways, apart from the obvious economic benefit from the annual week-long cash injection. Art and culture is exploding in this town due to the exposure to the arts that the KKNK has given locals. The success of the KKNK has changed perceptions of Oudtshoorn, resulting in an increase in general tourism to the town. This provides employment for many of the ‘non-professional’ locals, who make a living from creative use of the by-products of the ostrich industry – mostly eggs and feathers. The Cango Caves continue to dazzle. But where Oudtshoorn was once primarily dependant on the Caves and the ostrich farms to draw tourists, increased interest in the ‘dorpie in the desert’ has created an awareness of the many other attractions of the town and the area. A variety of accommodation, from backpackers’ lodges to five-star game lodges, can be found within five minutes’ drive from the CBD. Quality restaurants and shops abound. There’s plenty to do, from lying in a swimming pool all day, horse riding and hiking to 4x4-ing in the mountains. There’s also a full range of sports facilities. The Cango Wildlife Ranch (on the outskirts of town, one minute from the CBD) has an endangered species breeding facility and hosts the oldest and biggest cheetah contact centre worldwide. A lesser known but enticing aspect of Oudtshoorn is its position as the ‘gateway’ to the R62 Wine Route – the longest wine route in the world. Oudtshoorn itself boasts 17 wineries set amongst the dramatic mountain scenery. (Try the Prins Albert Shiraz.) An important feather in the town’s cap is the fact that the crime levels are very low. It is still very rural and agricultural in character. Climate: It is sunny throughout the year and, as befits the town’s location in the semi-desert, the average maximum temperature in summer is 36.8ºC, although it can easily rise to 45ºC. Temperatures are mild in winter, though it can drop to zero at night – making Oudtshoorn the perfect place to spot the rare nocturnal iced cactus. Oudtshoorn’s water is pure spring water from the Swartberg mountain range. The air is equally pure because the limited water supply makes the area unsuitable for heavy industry.

Other Features : Entrance Hall Lounge Kitchen Dining Room Land Extent : 1991.00 M2 Background Information - Riebeek Kasteel & Riebeek West (The Riebeek Valley) Introduction : The valley and its twin towns, Riebeek Kasteel and Riebeek West, lie an hour northeast of Cape Town. The Riebeek Valley has to be one of the most picturesque spots in the Swartland. As Cape Town traffic has faded, you leave the N7 at Malmesbury. The Kasteelberg rises before you like a stone fortress. Drive over Bothmanskloof Pass, and there it is... Lifestyle : The valley became known for its eccentric artists, alternative lifestylers and genial locals. While village gossip and the ravaging summer heat are downsides, the balance of the year is great. It’s so beautiful, there’s very little crime, and the community spirit is excellent. Riebeek Kasteel is the more elegant town, with a Eurocentric square surrounded by shops and restaurants. Yet Riebeek West has its own draw cards – large Victorian houses, and more peace and quiet. The Valley has a collection of restaurants, coffee-shops and bars which struggle to exist, and it still has the commercial disadvantage of being “on a back road”. No real commercial attractions exists and the Valley certainly do not have a population to support the hostelries that began to spring up. For three centuries, the valley was the preserve of Afrikaans farmers. Fifteen years ago, things changed. The majority of the properties sold are not as holiday homes, but to people want to live in the Valley. Buyers are drawn by the scenic beauty, good schools, and the proximity to Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Tygervalley. With the property boom and the olive festival has come a different type of settler. ‘It is no longer only the “artistic types” or retirees, but now includes the mainstream people & even more younger people who have made money and don’t need to be in the city. There are no real opportunities for employment in the Riebeek Valley, so you have to be self-sufficient – work from home, commute, or have a private income. As more companies outsource and employ less, people may as well live in a beautiful place and do business with a computer.’ Demographics : 88% of the population speak Afrikaans while only 2.5% speak English. 78% of the population of the Riebeek Valley is coloured, 18% white and 4% black. History : The solitary mountain was ‘discovered’ in 1661 during an expedition into the hinterland led by Corporal Pieter Cruythoff, and named ‘Riebeeck’s Kasteel’ in honour of the governor and his Cape castle. Later, Willem van der Stel offered land in the area to colonists, and the farms Allesverloren and Kloovenberg were established. Among the first farmers were Huguenots, who planted vineyards. Artisans including wagon makers joined the farming community in Riebeek Kasteel, while retired farmers settled in grander houses four kilometres away in Riebeek West.

Stellenbosch Background Information: Property Market : An unsurpassed quality of life, a strong demand in student housing, a growing corporate presence in the town and a lack of residential land due to the encircling vineyards of the historically “dominating” wine industry, has made this one of the most expensive countryside property markets in the country. Rezoning of Stellenbosch agricultural land is due to the local city council’s city planning policy, virtually impossible. The student property market dynamics has since 1994 seen dramatic changes – with a very strong demand being created in the sectional title market by the national policy of affirmative action and the role it is playing in the university’s residences. The number of apartment blocks in Stellenbosch is at present about +- 160 – ranging from 100 m to 3,5 km. from the campus. Prices of flats ranges from about R470 000 (1-bedroom on the outskirts) to R 2,4 mil (2 bedroom / 108 sq.m units in Central Stellenbosch in the “golden triangle”). Student’s parents have during the last few years also utilized the high capital growth achieved on the apartments to pay for their children’s education – again creating & now maintaining a new market dynamic unique to this property market.
